I definitely enjoyed the game, especially after the first playthrough (when I figured out that I had no job options).
As a game mechanics thing, it was pretty untransparent how everything worked. I'd suggest a tutorial, some text framing, or anything to say that you should get through life. These don't take much dev time and can go a long way to making the experience better.
Otherwise, small nits are it'd help to spend less time doing the boring stuff (e.g., walking; walking could be soooo much faster). Great work though! I thought the sound and graphics went well together; it feels like an old Pokemon game where you're really just living life.
